The three-alarm fire began shortly before 4 p.m. and was concentrated around the pier, according to the police and fire officials. It seemed to be under control by 5 p.m. and there were no immediate reports of injuries, the officials said.

James Long, a Fire Department spokesman, said in a telephone call with reporters that 33 units and 140 firefighters responded to a call at 3:52 p.m. reporting a fire at Pier 17. It took about two hours to bring the fire fully under control, he said.

The department used water hoses stretched from trucks, and department vessels streaming water from the East River to fight the flames.
